Lets get on with business boys.
Will Mounts hold: Grinton and Dalton Yes or No?? How good will they be this year?
Will Elmore finally blow their budget to the s h i t house and at least get a flag?? Or will it all blow up in their face again?
Will Colbo be the quiet acheiver?? Seem to have recruited very well and not lost many at all!
Can Heathcote take that next step come finals?
Will Lockingington lose some ground or have they recruited enough in the likes of the axeman etc to be true final contenders?
Can the likes of White hills and Broadford push for a spot in the five?
Huntly and North how competitive will they be?
Lets get down to it hey!

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah, 30 years of sucssess and all I can say is its been more than 30 years since mounts have updated there vistors change rooms. You have no respect for your peers.
Cant deny Mounts success , and good on em but I have to agree with you Big BOJ , the V rooms are a disgrace and they bloody stink as well.Somewhere to warm up before a game would be handy!!!!

I'll give it a go.......based on the silly season rumour & innuendo.......
Grinton & Dalton gone , I think Mounts might come back to the pack
Elmore will be thereabouts...depends on infighting and when the players all find out how much their mates are getting paid
Colbo...definitly the quiet achievers , will be right up there
Heathcote will improve , might sneak in to the top three ,apparently the new coach can really play
Broadford are an unknown quantiy to me but always hard to beat at home , might grab 5th
White Hills could be o/k but if consistant rumours , about some of the players being unhappy with the coach , are true then this could bring them undone , Sawyer is huge plus
North should have good depth this year and will be competive but it might be another year or two for them before they challenge
Huntly have lost a couple but , get Geary & Alford (both long term injuries last year) on the track and they could show some improvement.
Lockington wont want to rely just on Axe , he has a crook hip and his best footy is behind him , Dobson gone , favorite son Neil Hopkins leaves on a sour note , hate to say it because they will probably prove me wrong but they could struggle?
Anyone else???

wATCH OUT FOR A BLOKE BY THE NAME OF JEREMY BROWN. Superstar from the Bendigo league signed with Colbi I think. I would rate him as the best centre half back in that league by a mile. Has had a couple of years off playin cricket in England. Gun sportsman made 207 last week and took 3 for 90 playes district cricket for Carlton.

Some good points there Serious
*Grinton has moved on I wouldn't be surprised to see Dalton front again
*LBU will need to find a few yet if they want to be top 3 again
* are you aware of the foot traffic leaving Atkins St?

really think that colbo are sneakin under the rader, a bit. if they get irwin back, him nd ill could be a very hard combo to stop, brown is a big plus for colbo but not as a key backman i wouldnt think, a good runner
- mounts will find someone to replace brown, they talk the talk, walk the walk, although kruger isnt a big recruit considering he didnt do much last time he was at munts
- infighting at white hills is rubbish, they have recruited a few and retained a few, which could see them competitive, McCreddin is a big in, so is Ben Jones
- elmore, lets be honest dust off the mantle piece every few years, they needa flag soon.
-LBU's answers dont lay with a 36 or 7 year old full forward
- heathcote have remained quiet, although they need a ruckman to replace conheady and smith, who was the best ruckman in the league.
-doona, id reckon has the broady boys travelling along nicely. although wont give anything away
-huntly cant rely on geary and recruits are few and far between, billings may find himself in for a long year again.
-north have recruited a few. no word on how they go, lost there most imporant players though/
i may be proven wrong. i'd like to be proven wrong.

That is all it is mounts are a great club, which players want to hang around. If a club is winning flags a near 50% rate over a 30 year period why wouldn't a new player from out of town come and play. Ask yourself what would you rather,
1. Get paid a packet load of $ and not play off in finals
2. Or get paid nothing and have a fair chance to play in a premiership
Whats all your answers, on grand final day what would you rather. sitting on the sidelines drinking cans with a wallet full or running around with a premiership medallion around your neck.
At the end of the day my points is your can't buy a medallion, and you would trade all the money you were paid during the year for it.
The best weekend of your life with tour mates.

They are paying a bit of money but i don't think there paying out what eveyone is saying? You can't spend what you guys are saying and have a club in 5 years time!!! Call them dumb or crazy or what you like but shorely they have some idea?

Broady had their first hit-out today at Assumption College. The wind was horrendous which robbed us of any chance of a high scoring affair.
Ending winning by I think 2 goals, ACK scored a couple late in the 4th term as their fitness levels just make them refuse to give up.
Goals - C. Dunne 3, C. Moran 2, B. Neilson 2, N. Simpson, A. Wilson
Better players - A. Wilson, D. James, C. Dunne, S. Duggan, J. Rowe, M. Coomans, N. Gemmill, B. Littlewood,
The two's gave their opponents a 6.5 to nil head start before falling short by 4 points, and the thirds lost their encounter by around 4-5 goals.
Take out the weather and it was a successful day, one I know the BFNC were appreciative in being invited to, and one I think we got a bit out of. We play Sunbury Kangas on April 5 and Romsey on the 14th.
Any other games over the weekend lads?

I actually put N. Gemmill by mistake (typo)!!! Its actually Kyle but he is remaining at nathalia as they chase 3 in a row - I have just offered us as a training venue for Kyle for the season. Geez if he happened to do his brief or something Im sure we'd try and get him
he loves it back home and they appear a top club and his family are quite prominent up that way . . . . maybe in 2008 being more realistic Dipper is undecided as he's living and working in Melbourne these days, very much a wanted man and enjoyed it yesty - no doubt we'll chat as the next month unfolds.
Ha tommy, how many senior flags have you won at mounts or have you been pushed back to the magoos due to the imports.
Ha nice one tilt. ya tool. spoke to a stanhope mate of mine on the weekend who said grinton is definately playin over there.
you are pulling your self storm boy....They just do not offer that sort of coin so stop talking ****.
he has put in for a clearance to stanhope according to the transfers list
footy_5 maybe in the past you would be right but as for the club now they are trying to change things to become more successful on the ground. as for spending money every club has to spend some but the **** that gets talked on here is way out of line. bluey over the last year has spent money but also increased sponsership by a fair margin.
So they are trying to head in the right direction......like everyone keeps saying about mounts.....they are a well run club and we could take a leaf out of there book in that way........winning flags bring good player to clubs without spending money.
Tom, can you confirm newly appointed res. coach (Boof) is worried about lack of numbers, was seen scouting around North Bgo's training, trying to pinch some of his old campbells creek team mates.
